PM Modi Not Born in OBC Category, he lied about his caste: Rahul Gandhi

In a recent contentious statement likely to incite further debate between the BJP and the Congress, Rahul Gandhi asserted on Thursday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not hail from the OBC (Other Backward Class) community. Instead, Gandhi alleged that Modi was born into the Teli caste, considered a general caste at the time, in Gujarat. According to Gandhi, it was the BJP that conferred the OBC classification upon the Teli community in 2000.

During his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi emphasized, “PM Modi was not born into the OBC category. He was born into the Teli caste in Gujarat. The community was designated as OBC by the BJP in 2000. He was born into the General caste…He will resist conducting a caste census throughout his life because he was not born into the OBC category; he was born into the General caste.”

Rahul Gandhi further alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had previously claimed to belong to the OBC category. However, when the call for a caste census arose, Modi purportedly declared that there were only two castes, the rich and the poor. “When it was time to grant rights to OBCs, Dalits, and tribals, Modi ji denied the existence of castes, but when seeking votes, he asserts his affiliation with the OBC community,” Gandhi asserted.
